you really pride yourself on liking bands that no one else likes and dont make any money
 
 why is that?

I was just joking.
 
 95% of the bands I go see are at either Iota, Black Cat, or 9:30 Club, and are by nationally touring acts with records deals and radio exposure.
 
 Doesn't mean they are as popular as Radiohead, but in the grand scheme of things, given how many bands there are out there, I think the bands I like are relatively popular.

Perhaps a more clearly defined example would be"Who would you rather see in 2005, Bobby Bare Jr or Bobby Bare Sr?"

I'm rather surprised that Queens of the Stone Age and Interpol aren't playing this year. I wonder if there's a chance they still still add a few names on.

i told my girlfriend.   she wants to go, but all the stuff we want to see is in the evening so we wouldn't have to worry about the heat if we went this year.
 we want to see coldplay, new order and bauhaus as far as the bigger bands go.  if they end up having their own shows (even if they are on the west coast) around that time i really feel like it'd be better to go to those than to go to coachella.

Given how many people I know going to Coachella and given how well-organized a festival it is, I am actually looking forward to just being there. I bet that neither night will sell out this year either. I don't think enough people will want to travel again this year and most of the folks that go will be West Coast since it's less of a big deal to travel. I think it's a great line-up, but you would be SHOCKED at how many people still haven't heard of Coachella (of course, those people probably would never travel to a festival across the country either). I personally hope that fewer people show up...that will mean easier to park and easier to get out when the show's over!

tegan and sara? wtf? that's just wrong! WRONG!

I'd go if it were on the east coast. The line-up does excite me as a whole like last year's.

isnt it?   and Thrice? not cool.  in fact there are several question marks on that lineup.

But Bigyawn said they were one of the best of 2004!

bigyawn didnt really mean that.  Bigyawn is just in its early stages of life.  sooner or later it will have enough courage to try and be a LITTLE different from all the other online magazine type sites.....that Tegan and Sara is like a modern Indigo Girls...

Hey, give us some credit - at least we didn't include garbage like the latest Old 97's record.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I bet if Tegan and Sara had Indigo Girls haircuts, they'd be nowhere in the indie press.
